Congrats! Our 2nd is just 3 weeks old. Came 18 days early. Wife was in for a check up and the obstetrician said right we're scheduling you in for the next slot so got a day and a halfs notice. Forgotten how draining it all is but worth it all. Back to work monday after nearly a month off.

That sounds like a scary one Eoin. My wife nearly had to have a C section and I was shitting it, yours sounds like a real rollercoaster. Glad it all worked out in the end anyway, gotta love those maternity staff, they're amazing. Now the fun begins. Expect that blur feeling to last at least another 6 weeks.

went out for dinner saturday night, wasn't a wild one by any means. up at 8am the next morning, had breakfast, went to the driving range. Had 2 drinks, and once i got home, i turned into a feverish, achy, nauseous, gaseous mess! was awful! Woke up at 4am this morning and i was fine, other than a stiff back from being in bed for that long.

Earl added on the Sunday tho. I’ve never seen Bonobo. How good is he? Very tempted to go for him, having trouble getting mates to go.

Got The XX tickets yesterday. Seems to be from a new promoter, Selective Memory, who’s also booked gigs for Broken Social Scene and Mount Kimbie. Decent prices too. Probably worth following on insta as they’d be a bit off the radar for usual gigs

Idris Elba was actually booked for Forbidden Fruit a few years ago but pulled out at the last minute. I'd do a day of it this year if Justice, Vince Staples and Earl were all on the same one. Having seen them all before ( Justice and Vince multiple times) can't really justify it. Would love to see what Bagbak and Big Fish are like live though, absolutely huge production on them.

We got home on saturday night, for all of 3 hours. one of the epidurals went right through and into her and caused a spinal tap. we were told it would cause headaches and to come straight in if it did. All the medication she was on blocked it out for her until we got home, so in again we went. funny thing about hospitals at weekends, anyone who can do anything isn't there. form checking in at 10pm on saturday we had to wait until 10am monday before we could get the blood patch to fix it. they kept her over night on monday and we got home early on tuesday. All good now, thank god.

isn't that one of the big problems with the health service they're always talking about, and causing such backlogs. The consultants will only work 9-5 Mon - Fri and then they're doing private practise during those hours as well. It's a disgrace
